Default Puppy Training

Ladybug is full of energy. She's now 16 weeks old and we've been trying to teach her to sit and stay. She does great some days, then the next day or maybe even a few hours later she acts as though she's never heard the command. She listens to me only sometimes but listens to my husband all the time. She jumps at my 2 daughters and bites at their feet and legs all the time. She barks and growls at my girls and even me sometimes.
Now that she's had most of her shots I've started taking her out in the backyard for potty training. (She's completely pad trained inside) I know she's excited to be out of the house besides going to the vet, but she runs wild and tries to eat every leaf, every piece of tan bark anything she finds. Racoons, Deer, and even Wild Turkeys are in and around our backyard. I am terrified of her eating something and getting sick that's why I've waited so long to take her outside. I now take her in the backyard on her leash so she won't get into anything. I just can't seem to get her to listen or calm down enough to listen to me. I spend more time with her because of my husbands work schedule so I can't rely on him to do all the training. HELP!!!! What do I do or where do I begin
